General modules ¶
struct ¶
assert ¶
load("@ytt:assert", "assert")
# stop execution and report a failure
assert.fail("expected value foo, but was {}".format(value)) # stops execution
x = data.values.env.mysql_password or assert.fail("missing env.mysql_password")
# invoke a function value, catching failure if it occurs
x, err = assert.try_to(lambda : json.decode('{"key": "value"}'))
x # { "key" = "value" } (i.e. dict with one entry)
err # None
x, err = assert.try_to(lambda : json.decode("(not JSON)"))
x # None
err # "json.decode: invalid character '(' looking for beginning of value"
# stop execution if two values are not equal
assert.equals("not", "equal") # stops execution
data ¶
See Data Values reference for more details
load("@ytt:data", "data")
data.values # struct that has input values
# relative to current package
data.list() # ["template.yml", "data/data.txt"]
data.read("data/data.txt") # "data-txt contents"
# relative to library root (available in v0.27.1+)
data.list("/") # list files
data.read("/data/data.txt") # read file
ip ¶
Parse and inspect Internet Protocol values.
(available in v0.37.0+)
load("@ytt:ip", "ip")
# Parse IP addresses...
addr = ip.parse_addr("192.0.2.1")
addr.is_ipv4() # True
addr.is_ipv6() # False
addr.string() # "192.0.2.1"
addr = ip.parse_addr("2001:db8::1")
addr.is_ipv4() # False
addr.is_ipv6() # True
addr.string() # "2001:db8::1"
# Parse CIDR notation into an IP Address and IP Network...
addr, net = ip.parse_cidr("192.0.2.1/24")
addr.string() # "192.0.2.1"
addr.is_ipv4() # True
addr.is_ipv6() # False
net.string() # "192.0.2.0/24"
net.addr().string() # "192.0.2.1"
net.addr().is_ipv4() # True
net.addr().is_ipv6() # False
addr, net = ip.parse_cidr("2001:db8::1/96")
addr.string() # "2001:db8::1"
addr.is_ipv4() # False
addr.is_ipv6() # True
net.string() # "2001:db8::/96"
net.addr().string() # "2001:db8::"
net.addr().is_ipv4() # False
net.addr().is_ipv6() # True
regexp ¶
load("@ytt:regexp", "regexp")
regexp.match("[a-z]+[0-9]+", "__hello123__") # True
regexp.replace("[a-z]+[0-9]+", "__hello123__", "foo") # __foo__
regexp.replace("(?i)[a-z]+[0-9]+", "__hello123__HI456__", "bye") # __bye__bye__
regexp.replace("([a-z]+)[0-9]+", "__hello123__bye123__", "$1") # __hello__bye__
regexp.replace("[a-z]+[0-9]+", "__hello123__", lambda s: str(len(s))) # __8__
# example of passing the "dot matches newline" flag and using replace to extract a single match from a multiline input string
input_str = "\\ multline string\n\nconst (\n\t// Value is what we want to scrape\n\tValue = 12\n)\n\nfunc main() {..."
regexp.replace("(?s).*Value = ([0-9]+).*", input_str, "$1") # 12
See the RE2 docs for more on regex syntax. Note that flags such as multiline mode are passed in the pattern string as in the golang regexp library.
When calling replace
you can pass either a string or a lambda function as the third parameter. When given a string, $
symbols are expanded, so that $1
expands to the first submatch. When given a lambda function, the match is directly replaced by the result of the function.
While match
and replace
are currently the only regexp verbs supported, it is possible to mimic find
by using replace
to replace all its input with a capture group (see example above).
url ¶
load("@ytt:url", "url")
url.path_segment_encode("part part") # "part%20part"
url.path_segment_decode("part%20part") # "part part"
url.query_param_value_encode("part part") # "part+part"
url.query_param_value_decode("part+part") # "part part"
url.query_params_encode({"x":["1"],"y":["2","3"],"z":[""]}) # "x=1&y=2&y=3&z="
url.query_params_decode("x=1&y=2&y=3;z") # (DEPRECATED) # {"x":["1"],"y":["2","3"],"z":[""]}
url.query_params_decode("x=1&y=2&y=3&z") # {"x":["1"],"y":["2","3"],"z":[""]}
u = url.parse("http://alice:secret@example.com")
u.string() # "http://alice:secret@example.com"
u.user.name # "alice"
u.user.password # "secret"
u.user.string() # "alice:secret"
u.without_user().string() # "http://example.com"
As of v0.38.0, including semicolons in query strings is deprecated behavior.
Allowing semicolons in query strings can lead to cache poisoning attacks. Authors should use ampersands (i.e. &
) exclusively to separate parameters.
version ¶
load("@ytt:version", "version")
(see version module doc)
Serialization modules ¶
base64 ¶
load("@ytt:base64", "base64")
base64.encode("regular") # "cmVndWxhcg=="
base64.decode("cmVndWxhcg==") # "regular"
json ¶
load("@ytt:json", "json")
json.encode({"a": [1,2,3,{"c":456}], "b": "str"})
json.encode({"a": [1,2,3,{"c":456}], "b": "str"}, indent=3)
json.decode('{"a":[1,2,3,{"c":456}],"b":"str"}')
As of v0.35.0, json.encode()
with indent
argument encodes result in multi-line string.
toml ¶
As of v0.38.0.
load("@ytt:toml", "toml")
toml.encode({"a": [1,2,3,456], "b": "str"}) # 'a = [1, 2, 3, 456]\nb = "str"'
toml.encode({"metrics": {"address":"", "grpc_histogram": False}}, indent=4)
# '[metrics]\n address = ""\n grpc_histogram = false\n'
toml.decode("[plugins]\n [plugins.cgroups]\n no_prometheus = false")
# {"plugins": {"cgroups": {"no_prometheus": False}}}
yaml ¶
load("@ytt:yaml", "yaml")
yaml.encode({"a": [1,2,3,{"c":456}], "b": "str"})
yaml.decode('{"a":[1,2,3,{"c":456}],"b":"str"}')
Hashing modules ¶
md5 ¶
load("@ytt:md5", "md5")
md5.sum("data") # "8d777f385d3dfec8815d20f7496026dc"
